A Lake Elsinore man was convicted earlier this month of 54 acts of sexual abuse against his stepdaughter.

James Allen McDowell, 43, will serve more than 100 years for 53 counts of lewd and lascivious acts with a child, according to a San Bernardino County sheriff’s news release. He also received 15 years to life for one count of oral copulation with a child under the age of 10.

He was sentenced July 2.

On April 24, 2009, McDowell was arrested at the home of his then-wife in the 2700 Block of Conejo Drive in San Bernardino for continuous sexual abuse against his 9-year-old former stepdaughter, according to the news release.

An appeal to the conviction was filed but no action has been taken, according to a court clerk.
